34052 is the flat color that was used on WWII Marine equipment. The semi-gloss 24052 was used on vehicles like those M37's. If you are having trouble finding good 34052, then you should be looking at either of the 2 major military vehicle paint vendors. Army Jeep Parts in PA and Rapco in TX...
Yes the joy of getting your fingers just right to get the nut started on the threads. It was even more complicated by trying to not trip over the tripod while filming or blocking everything with your back as you try and do a limbo to fit your hand and arms into the small space. Your story is...

Yep I think the lollipop lights were more a fire dept,/ forestry thing as it was an easy way to add 12v turn signals to these trucks. And that spot on the fenders make it about the easiest place to put them and get to them, I imagine that's why when the military added the marker light to them...
